Page 14 Installation Instructions: SCSI Disk Drives
This isolator is used in AM-1400/1600
applications for mounting 1-3/4" thick
3-1/2" SCSI disk drives.

The isolator has two sets of holes, allowing both Quantum or Maxtor drives to be used.
Once the isolator is positioned around the drive, it can be placed in its mounting position
inside the chassis. The drive will be held in place using four nylon screws and metal
washers as shown in Figure 6.
10.3Drive Isolation (Pedestal and Rack Mount Computers)
In pedestal and rack mount enclosures, the drive (or drives) sit on a plastic mounting
base and attach to a plastic front bezel; because of the way the drive is mounted, it
would appear to be fully isolated from chassis ground. However, because the front
bezel has a conductive coating, the drive can still be shorted to chassis ground at the
point where it attaches to the front bezel. The use of two nylon shoulder washers
(HDW-10004-07) will insure that the drive will not be able to make electrical contact with
the coating on the front bezel. These washers are used as shown in Figure 8 and install
exactly the same way on both pedestal and rack mount computers.
